“Cares of the Day” Tree

Dave Hatton — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 02:00:16 +0000

(Note: This story is adapted from another story you all may have seen previously. I changed it to match my own beliefs based upon my own life experiences.) Occasionally, a neighbor would be watching through his living room window near the end of the afternoon. One day, he noticed his friend next door walk [...]

Clean the “Muddy” Right Out of Your Glass

Dave Hatton — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 06:05:36 +0000

Starting your spiritual journey? Think of yourself like a glass of water where mud (your “stuff”) has settled to the bottom. Things seem to be relatively clear when you begin your journey, but then you begin to do the spiritual work. This is like pouring clear spring water into your glass. So what [...]

Electronic Vision Board

Dave Hatton — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:55:54 +0000

I am so excited! I was thinking about the Vision Board (or Treasure Map, or Visual Explorer) I wanted to create. It dawned upon me that instead of going driving around to find old magazines, or worse yet, buy magazines, that I could just take advantage of the free images provided on Google [...]

A Meditation Revelation

Dave Hatton — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 05:34:27 +0000

I was reading from my Foundations Class materials through Creative Living Fellowship when I came upon a revelation about meditation, and by default, about spirituality in general. In one of the articles I read, the writer, Rev. Marlene Oaks, argues that a light switch works for everyone the same way, “…but they really do [...]

Sabbatical

Dave Hatton — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 04:41:09 +0000

For personal reasons, I am going to back off of writing for a while. I assure you it is all good. I need to focus on some other things for a while. I may post every once in a while, but it will be relatively infrequently. I know that some day [...]

If I Ever Take Time Off From Blogging…

Dave Hatton — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 01:38:13 +0000

… you know that I have hit a bump in the road. I think I have gotten over the bump. We’ll see. Of course, all bumps in the road will eventually lead to other bumps in the road – that is assuming you stay on the road. It is one of [...]

Unexpected Benefits of Facebook

Dave Hatton — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 03:54:50 +0000

Through the years, I’d been involved in a few social networking sites. Among them was Yahoo Groups which was great while the group I was with was active. Soon, the activity level dropped, and it was just a matter of time before I lost interest. I’d tried classmates.com for a short time [...]

Changes in the Way I Write this Blog

Dave Hatton — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 04:58:07 +0000

Over the past couple of months, I have questioned what my purpose was in writing this blog. When I was playing and writing about poker, I had a pretty decent following of around 50-100 visitors per day. With this blog, I have found that I average about 3-5 visitors per day. That [...]

Avoid Self-Branding

Dave Hatton — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 03:35:52 +0000

A few months back, shortly after I started messing around with Facebook, I connected with an acquaintance from elementary school. In an email to him, I essentially apologized for being a bully when I was in elementary school. When I was in elementary school, I have it seared in my brain that I [...]

First Meeting With “Real Love” by Greg Baer M.D.

Dave Hatton — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 06:12:39 +0000

When I was playing poker, I used to joke that, “Poker is my wife… I mean my life.” Little did I realize the truth I spoke. Have you ever heard the term, “I trade you very much?” as opposed to “I love you very much?” I don’t know if he is [...]
